"On Your Feet!": It’s been 35 years since a song called "Conga" catapulted Miami Sound Machine and its lead singer, Gloria Estefan to worldwide fame. That Top 10 hit was followed by a string of exciting singles, including Bad Boy, Rhythm Is Gonna Get You, and 1-2-3. Now, those songs are rocking audiences all over again, thanks to a hit musical making its Southeastern premiere at Lawrenceville’s Aurora Theatre. On Your Feet! is based on the lives of Gloria and Emilio Estefan, and first opened on Broadway in 2015. Featuring a score made up of the couple’s most successful songs (including the #1 hits Anything For You and Coming Out Of The Dark”), the energetic musical chronicles the Cuban-American couple’s rise to success, from their crossover hits with Miami Sound Machine to Gloria’s award-winning solo career. Aurora Theatre’s production, which opened March 5th and runs through April 12th, is directed by Justin Anderson and stars María Bilbao and Max J. Cervantes as Gloria and Emilio Estefan. It's the first time On Your Feet! has been staged in the Southeast. Performances of the show take place Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8:00 a.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. Tickets start at $30. Aurora Theatre is located at 127 East Pike Street in Lawrenceville.
